<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <handlers>
            <add name="PHP53_via_FastCGI_HTML" path="*.html" verb="GET,HEAD,POST" modules="FastCgiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.3\php-cgi.exe" resourceType="File" requireAccess="Script" />
        </handlers>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
